We Weren’t Together When You Joined
Though My Heart Is Still Full With Pride
We Weren’t Together When You Were Deployed
Though I Know It Would Have Been A Rough Ride

We Weren’t Together When You Got Home From War
Though What A Feeling It Must Have Been
I Was Not There With My Love For You To Endure
But I Am Here Now And Will Be Til The End

It Is One Hundrend And Twenty Degrees
As He Lays There In His Bunker
His Rifle Right By His Knees
And His Thoughts You Could Not Possibly Wonder

Many Of His Friends Have Died
And There Are Many More To Come
But He Is Still Full Of So Much Pride
For He And His Friends Do Not Run

I Know Things Happened That You Could Never Forget
I Know There Are Some Memories That Still Make You Sad
But Try To Remember All The Great Marines You Met
Try To Remember The Good Times, Not The Bad

I Will Stand Beside Of You
And Be There When The Tears Are Shed
I Will Stay All The Way Through
Even Til Our Eyes Are Red

As He Stands There Behind You
Wearing Nothing But Jeans And A T-Shirt
You Could Not Possibly Understand
All The Pain That He Has To Hurt

While You Are Getting Upset
Because The Line Is Taking So Long
Or It Might Be Because Someone Is Counting Out Pennies
And You Think That Is So Wrong
